Good, no-nonsense read-aloud fun. Farmer wants to give his animals bath, but naturally the pigs resist! With humorous rhyming quatrains and bold, bright illustrations, Wilson’s story takes the Farmer through a process that results in him learning to love a good mess. This book would be great for reading out loud at story time or one-on-one. Not a stand-out in story or illustration, but a fun addition to collections for younger children.
